United Airlines has inked a deal with Pratt & Whitney for their patented environmentally friendly EcoPower(R) engine wash system which the airline said would save three million gallon savings in jet fuel annually. It will also reduce carbon dioxide emissions by some 28,000 tonnes.
United expects the washes to reduce fuel burn, eliminate hundreds of millions of pounds of carbon dioxide emissions and improve exhaust gas temperature margin, which will enhance engine performance.
UA will implement the engine washes on all aircraft in its fleet by this fall and will begin offering the service to third-party customers. United will perform washes at several airports worldwide including San Francisco, Los Angeles and Washington.
